I was wishing that that type of ignorance didn't exist in our hobby ... but I've been called an "optimist" (as well as several other things ... (grin)). I was on the organizing committee for a local hamfest a few years ago, and actually ran into a similar sentiment. The "powers-that-be" desired the 'fest's station to be all-HF. When I pointed out that that was discriminatory, elitist, and not in the best interests of furthering amateur radio to the masses, they relented. But I wasn't asked to be on the committee the next year ... And so it goes. Clint, K6LCS _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
